PKP Rail Line 230
PKP rail line 230 is a non-operational PKP cross-province railway line in northern Poland running from PKP rail line 202 at Wejherowo to PKP rail line 229 at Garczegorze. Originally lying entirely within Germany, the first section from Wejherowo to Prusewo opened in 1902 with last section to Garczegorze opening in 1910. The line was closed and disassembled in 1919, in the aftermath of World War I, reopening in 1924. Between the end of World War I and the end of World War II, the stations from Garczegorze to Rybno Kaszubskie were in Germany while the five stations from Zamostne to Wejherowo were in Poland. Services ceased during World War II but the line reopened again in 1946. Following World War II the entire line became Polish. The line was electrified in 1986, but closed to passenger traffic in 1992. It closed to freight traffic in 2001. The railway tracks remain in place, but years of neglect mean the line is currently impassable. A dismantled branch line, rail line 230A, ...

Railway Station
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...
